MARKETING THE HONEY CROP 



nearly full of water. When the water heats 

 to the desired point, it should be kept there 

 for about three hours, and when the honey 

 in the cans is nice and clear, which it will 

 be if it was properly strained at time of ex- 

 tracting, the little one-pound jars should be 

 filled with the hot honey and capped at once, 

 when they are ready for the stores to which 

 they are to be sent. 



A most excellent jar for this purpose is the 

 Hazel Atlas Simplex, a jar with a glass cap 

 and a waxed ring, and attractive to the eye. 

 Another good package for the home trade, if 

 a house-to-house canvass is to be made, is the 

 ordinary quart preserve or canning- jar, and 

 as the housewife can make use of this jar after 

 it is emptied, this style of package will ap- 

 peal to her. 



The county fairs held in the fall form an 

 excellent medium for the sale of honey, as 

 the beekeeper can have a booth and an obser- 

 vation hive at hand with live bees in it, and 

 such an exhibit will always attract a crowd.
